I mean to be entirely fair, I'm probably gonna steal that word and repurpose it.

Can I have his stuff?
Just goes to show you can find an application for *anything*.
They won't, though. It's working class families that will get hit the hardest by all of Trump's ignorant appointees.
Too soon, man.
Am I choosing one to stand or fall? Instructions ambiguous!
Whenever anybody in fiction does anything that even superficially reminds a person of a time an ex wronged them, they will *burn the internet to the ground* to avenge their feeligns on that fictional person.
Oh admit it, you did the math and tweaked this.
Oh my gooooooooooooooood.
I'm just *aware of how the system works.*
I'm not a liberal, dipshit. I'm way left of the Democratic policy. But I'm mature enough to recognize when one of the options available on the ballot is way better than the other one.
Just be aware that not only does *your* congressman have to pull support, but they have to get enough votes to pass it through both the senate AND the house.
The president can slow roll the delivery of weapons to some extent to apply political pressure, which Biden *was* doing, but there are legal limits on what he's allowed to do.
The president doesn't get to decide how we arm them, that's determined by the laws passed by congress, so if you want to impact that politically, look to your district's congressman to push for legislation.
Just like no matter how many times we pointed out that the right would just full throatedly *endorse* the genocide in Gaza while the democrats would have at least *tried* to pressure them to stop, we couldn't force people like you to show up and vote. Same idea.
No, your comment shows your obliviousness to reality. We don't controll the other countries in the world, as much as Trump likes to pretend we do. We pressure, we influence, but they make their own decisions.
*We aren't in charge of Palestine.*
Hey, there was a reason! He hates Obama, and Obama signed the deal. That's the reason. It's a fuckin' stupid reason, but there we are.
Actually, at this *exact* moment, it's approaching perigee, so it's actually getting closer. Until tonight, then it'll be moving away for a couple weeks. But on average over time, yes, it's receding very slowly.
Nah, they're just making fun of that dude, because that's how long it takes him to learn to use a zoom lens.
Well that certainly reads like a conversation two actual humans would have. Nothing randomly expositional about that at all. Like, Lady, either you don't remember, in which case why are you asking about it, or you do, in which case *why are you asking about it?*
I mean, Bail isn't exactly....around very long, after Kleya gets there. Nor are they on Yavin for very long.
Moop-sy!
They are not going after the usage of copywritten works to feed the algorithms in the first place, which is the actual problem people complain about WRT AI generated images.
That's not my point. They're going after the *production* of images of their trademarked characters. That basis could be (and has been) directed at any fanartist.
Don't threaten me with a good time.
They're not complaining about the use of existing artist's copyrighted works to generate AI images, they're only concerned about the unlicensed generation of images of *their characters*. This does nothing to address what people are actually complaining about when it comes to generative AI.
Sorry, misunderstood your phrasing with my other post. Why is her daughter supposed to be facilitating her makeout session in the first place? Has Brooke just gone full incest kink on us?
Also they're like 15 feet long I guess.
Oh my god his shield is a ring
Hah. Yeah, That costume hits different in 2025.
Crazy that they all fell side by side like this! ;p
An-an-and the mo-mo-monster screaming th-th-the loude-de-dest...is Han So-solllo!
Could be a T'Pring episode.
Kyle Katarn isn't even mad about Kyle Katarn being kicked out of canon.
They're doing a Ninth Jedi series and another season of visions with at least one sequel short, so I live in hope.
You and me both.
No longer canon.
Yessss
Tourists. ;p
Your dead grandparent told me.
Wait, is he quoting her word for word or paraphrasing for perspective? Was gramma talking about her evolution or his?
And I mean the whole "Dotty teaches Joyce to masturbate and holds her hand, that was very heterosexual. Even if you were going to narrow in on the current storyline, this explicit turn to Dorothy's romantic feelings basically started when Joyce and Joe became a thing.
Not to mention the gay pharmacist and her wife who just coincidentally look exactly like Dotty and Joyce as old ladies.
I would say that it was likely, almost inevitable, that something like this was coming the moment Daisy called out the accidental "queerbaiting" subtext between Doris and Julia in Joyce's webcomic. Willis wasn't gonna lampshade something like that with no payoff coming.
Next Willis will try to tell us that Becky is gay and Sal is cool.
*know better
Also, how big does your ego have to be to insist that you know what's in character for a fictional figure than THE CREATOR OF THAT CHARACTER
This was the most telegraphed crush in the history of crushes. Literally no one in universe would be surprised by it. Joe/Joyce was more out of left field.
I mean, to some extent, the point is literally to pull his attention *off* of the *civilians* that he's menacing.
Oh shit, he literally has MS13 tattooed on his scalp!
No, he is definitely batshit crazy. He earnestly believes many things that are demonstrably untrue and refuses all evidence to the contrary.
That feels like a lie.
He can be both things.
I mean, there are a lot of very stupid people out there who uncritically share things that are easily this wrong. I can't really blame anybody who thought it was sincere.
Wait, does it really? That seems like it could be annoyingly griefable in the Tholian ground maps.
So much for seperation of church and state.
"...and we get to raid your fridge as a privilege gor working out this deal."
(Looks it up) Oh wow, actually, it'll be a star in the next couple hundred thousand years.
And give it some millions of years, maybe it'll just be a star. Or maybe a brown dwarf. It's smaller than I always thought it was.
Hey, water is important!
Name's on the tin. ;p
I mean...we *do* have that in our sky. ;p
Well, if we wait long enough...
Hydrogen, mostly.
It's not a void, it's a cloud.
It is neither of those things. It's a clump of gas and dust that formed due to gravitational instability over millions of years.
Not really. There's a lot of empty space out there. It's *mostly* empty space. And this is only 500 LY out.
Mad Max comes later, we're 1984ing right now.
That image of Barnard 68 actually often gets erroneously distributed with blurbs or articles of the Bootes void. Gets on my nerves a bit. ;p
It's not about reaching *Rogan*.
Why are we talking about Trump? I'm talking about Joe Rogan's *audience*, most of whom are impressionable young people who can and *desperately need* to be influenced by people who know actual science.
I mean, is anybody surprised that they're evil, considering what they named themselves on purpose?
The *existence* of other media that is science positive does not mean that *they are seeing it.* As educators, we have to be willing to go to them.
Most of them are in their 20s.
*Somebody* has to try and slip some actual science into his audience's media diet.
They don't care about the law, they don't plan to every comply, and they're dismantling all of the systems that are designed to keep them from being able to do this.
You could, sure. It might be tricky to focus an image of it. The scale difference means the focal length of the lens resolving the image is more meaningful on a scaled down model than it is on the full-size moon and sun. I don't know enough about cameras to say much beyond that, though.
Yes.
Chat GPT can be a tool for improving the polish of your writing, but there has to be a knowledgable human curating the info in that writing, because chatGPT itself sets up minefields of disinformation.
And that means it will often mislead you, because it presents true info and false info with the same knowlegible, confident tone.
It SOUNDS correct because it presents the speech patterns of confident answers. It *is* sometimes correct because it is aping patterns of speech from sources that *are* correct. But it's also often wrong because it doesn't understand anything it actually says.
ChatGPT is a language *impersonator.* It cobbles together words, sentences, paragraphs, etc based on patterns of language use exhibited by the sources it looks at.
Here's the thing. I realize it feels like that, but this is my point: it *doesn't* know more than you. It doesn't *know* anything. It can't understand abstract concepts, it's *not intelligent.*
That was such a comically stupid story.
It's not even about whether or not it's wrong. ChatGPT is not a legal reference or a reliable resource in general.
Please don't *ask chatgpt*. You cannot tank your credibility faster than by asking AI *legal questions*.
Sure, but we still draw a distinction between arrangements with a fixed structure maintained by strong bonds of force (solid objects) and collections of freely moving particles that might be associated by bonds of force but which are constantly rearranging their configuration as they flow. (Fluids)
True, but an object is an arrangement of atoms fixed in its configuration by bonds of electromagnetic force. A galaxy is more like a fluid than an object.
Swirling is a better descriptor because a galaxy isn't an object. It's an arrangement.
To be fair, that line is absolute bull. ;p Liara's the most womanly woman-coded woman who's ever womaned. (Not the anti-woke crowd'd be fair about it.)
I mostly do, but not so much in that case.
Facists don't make the trains run on time, incidentally.
Eh, only in the cartoon, and there really only because the animators were a bit lazy.
Yeah, I knew this was where things were going after Motormaster. I honestly kinda hate it, but I realize I'm in a minority in the fandom.
It's because they're losers.
My god...it's full of stars...
